I have 87,636 links to my website from a single domain, is this bad?

Hi guys

I have 87,636 links from one website, of which 75,189 of those link to my homepage using my website name as the anchor.

Another has 29,811 links back to my website, again the majority of the links using my website name as the anchor.

Is this a bad thing?

Let me explain how this has happened - a company by the name of Daylife uses our RSS feed and distributes this to hundreds of their clients, which include indiatimes, usatoday, dallasnews etc, now I noticed that the majority of these websites all link back to our website with the same anchor text used several times on a single page. Attached is an example.

Would this be a bad thing seen as the majority of these links have the same anchor text and link to my homepage? Looking at my GWT there is an estimated 183,373 backlinks that are all like this.

Our traffic has dropped since Mr Panda hit and I am trying to find out if this could be adding to the problem.

Thank you for you time

Post-Penguin it's supposed to be a bit of a concern. On the other hand, we have 12,900 links from a single site, yet we have moved to the #1 position from what seems to be a result of Penguin and a lot of white hat SEO, of course. I know 12,900 is nowhere near 87,000, but the site that links to ours is nowhere near the authority of the Chicago Tribune so I guess you could say it balances out?

I don't know that I would worry a lot about an RSS scraper, especially if they're using your brand as the link text. Most likely the site doing the scraping is already devalued.

What does the rest of your link profile look like? Is it mostly natural? I would assume that the Chicago Tribune (original content) would have lots of natural links.
